time of JESUS birth. He was appointed
mainly through the influence of Marc Antony,
and was confirmed in his position by the Ro-
man Senate about B. @. 40. He was self
ish, sensual and cruel monarch, adroit and
of pleasing address. Ambitious to strengthen
and perpetuate his reign, he appears to have
been disposed to please his subjects. He re-
built in great magnifcence the Temple at
Jerusalem, known in history as Herod's
Temple. He constructed another on Mt.
Gerizim for the Samaritans, and established
heather worship at C@sarea for the Romans.
He was jealous and suspicious of all who
might endanger his reign. He caused to be
slain his wife, her grandfather, and three of
his own SONS. These facts explain his con-
duct in connection with the events recorded
in our Lesson. He was infirm and wretched
at the time and died soon after, in theseven-
tieth year of his age.

four years old at the time of her going home.
She was twice married, the first time when

The +" WISE MEN,"

Less than two years after the birth of
JESUS wise men, (Magians) from the East
visited Jerusalem to inquire for new born
king of the Jews. The Magi were the priest
ly and educated caste among Eastern peo-
ples,-the Modes, Persians, Baby lonians and
Arabians. They cultivated astronomy in the
primitive form of astrology, medicine, and
the arts of divination generally. There are
frequent references to them in the books of
jeremiah and Daniel. Daniel himself seems
to have been identified with them and held
the office of "Master of the magicians."

pearance in the heavens was regarded as a
portent of some significant event in history.

Gated the birth of some great parsonage.
The birth and death of kings were heralded
by new and striking celestial phenomena.
The expectation of Messiah among the
Jews was we'll known in all the East, in Bah
yloD, where most of the Jews of the Captivity
had remained; in Persia, whittier great num-
bers had emigrated during and after the
reign of Cyrus; in Arabia, whose people we're
in close commercial relations with Jerusa-
lem and Palestine. The appearance of a
new star of unusual brightness would natur-
ally lead to the conclusion that the expected
king of the Jews had been born. The Magi-
ans declare that they had seen his star in the
East, or at its rising, and had come to pay
him the customary homage.

THE BIRTH OF JESUS.

The circumstances connected with the
birth of JESUS are recorded by Luke iii. L
| 20). Matthew, writing an account of the
| Messiah of Israel, particularly records only
| those circumstances that appear to be the
fulfllment or accomplishment of the Hebrew
Scriptures. The connection of Matthew's
account of the birth of JESUS is closer than
is apparent in the translation, which literally
would be: snow when the (this) JESUS"
that is, the one just mentioned at the close
of chapter j. That the Messiah was to be
born in Bethlehem is declared in verses 5, 6,
"a free quotation or translation of Micah v.
2. reference to the passage will show that
JESUS, or the Messiah, was not predicted by
the prophet. But by the method of interpre-
tation which the Jews employed at the time
of CHRIST, this passage was included among
the Messianic prophecies (see John vii. 42).
The predictions of the prophets were enlarged
and extended, and JESUS was regarded as
filling fuller predictions, and accomplishing
more completely Scriptures that may have
had a more restricted reference and fulfil
ment.
Bethlehem (''house of bread'') though
small village in the province of Judea, stu
ated five or six miles south of Jerusalem, the
famous capital, is nevertheless connected in
its history with some of the greatest names
and events in the history of the world. Near
it was the memorial of the patriarch Jacobs
greatest sorrow of his sorrowful life, the
tomb of Rachel Here was the home of Bosz
and Ruth, the ancestors of Israers greatest
king. Here King David, the royal Psalmist,
was born; and
"CHRIsT was born in Bethlehem"
The precise date of JESUS birth is unknown.
The Christian Era was established in the
sixth century upon inaccurate data. Accord
ing to our system of dates JESUS was born in
the year 754 of the Roman Era. But he was
born before the death of Herod, the king who
died in the year of Rome $50 (some say 1857,
four years before our era. He may have
been nearly or quite two years old before the
death of Herod iii. 16). The true date of his
birth is probably between B. @. and 6. The
present year is between 1891 and 1898, rather
than 1887.

a few years in New York, moved to Chicago,
where he spent the greater part of his bust
ness life. In 1869 he came to Dexter, Iowa,
and engaged in the mercantile business. On
June 2, 1868, he was married to Miss Hannah
w. CoDger, a sister of Hon. e. III. Conger, of
Des Moines. She died Feb. II, 1873, and on
April 81, 1874 he was married again, to Miss
Matte 1. Turnkey. A wife and five children
survive him. The funeral services were very
largely attended, Rev. j. F. SCHNEIDER Off
ciating.
In Allentown, ILL.,, May %, 1887, Mrs. Hen
rietta F. jerks, in the 18th year of her age.
Mrs. jerks was born in Maryland in 1911,
rents to Indiana, settling near Cincinnati.
In 1888 second removal brought the family
to Allentown, ILL.,, where the subject of this
obituary was married to George jerks. As
the fruit of this union ten children were born
of whom five are living and five have passed
beyond "the belt of darkness" Nine years
ago the husband passed to the translated
company, since which event Mrs. jerks re-
manned on the old homestead, surrounded
by her children, who are well settled in life.
Early in life Mrs. jerks experienced what
was called a change of heart, and united with
the Methodist church, of which she was a
consistent member for some years; but pos
sessing an inquiring mind. that insisted on
bringing every thing to the proof, she was led
to abandon Methodism, and embrace the
more generous and soul satisfying faith of
the Universalist church. For years she has
been subscriber to Manford's Magazine, of
which she was an appreciative reader. The
neighborhood in which she passed her life is
somewhat isolated, and only on rare occa-
sions was it her privilege to unite with her
chosen people in the worship of the ALTA
ther. Her sickness, to which she at last sue
cumbed was especially painful and trying,
but she bore herself above the trials, and at
last died in the foil triumph of Christian
faith. Her funeral was attended at the old
home on Wednesday, June 1, in presence of
a very large concourse of neighbors, and sor-
rowing friends, by the writer.

liking of the jews" and they honored him
with their rich gifts. By the light of the
Gospel we may come to him who has become
"King of Souls." He himself is Light, the
true Light that lighteth every man that com
eth into the world, by faith, and fellowship
with the spirit of his life, we may offer him
richer gifts than did the Magi, gifts of the
heart that are sweeter and spicier than Ara
